Hi everybody -
We recently bought a 2012 Leaf for a nice low price but are trying to adjust our expectations to the reality of what it is capable of. The 'driving range' miles shown on the dash drop rapidly as we drive, so I have just gotten LeafSpy and am trying to understand what those numbers mean for us.
Right now it is showing:
AHr 49.91
SOH 78.23% but still has eleven bars
379.78V
Hx 63.05%
168 QCs
4189 L1/L2s
The battery was replaced in 2018 which is why it is still in decent shape, but still doesn't seem like we are getting as much distance out of it as the 'driving range' miles on the dash would indicate, because of how fast they drop on every trip. Do you have any advice for further analysis/diagnosis using LeafSpy? Or do we just need to expect that we can't get very far between charges in this car, until some distant future when Nissan offers affordable battery upgrades (if that will ever happen)?
Glad to have found this forum and appreciate any wisdom folks can provide -
